Hello,everyone.I'm a bit confused as to how much a half ton can tow with a reciver hitch, i'd like to get a car trailer and I'm thinking of getting a 3/4 ton but also not sure what it could tow.I think that a truck on a trailer would be about 6,000lbs?thats proabably the heaviest thing i'd haul and not very often but mabey long distances.Can anyone help me decide what is best.I curently have a 75 1/2 2wd with 350/350 and 12 bolt rear.I saw a 76 3/4 2wd for sale with 350/4sp manual 14 bolt rear a dual tanks.Im on alimited budget and would like to make my money count,would like to use my current truck but don't think it is suited for what I have in mind.Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
